> Sorry for not answering again. Are there any news on this issue?

No news. As written above, I provided users a workaround with a
.xsession. That workaround was so effective that I even forgot this bug.

> Did you already upgrade to 14.04 or do you plan to do so?

It is planned and we already know some other improvements it will bring.
But we lack time so far. :-)

> It would be interesting to know if this problem persists or not.

I could disable the workaround to see if anything changed.
Do you want me to do so ?
Not sure I can do it in the following days.

Thank you for your attention.

Title:
  unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xfce4-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installed Xubuntu Precise beta 1(amd64) in this PC

  AMD FX 8120 8-core processor
  16GB of RAM
  ATI HD 5450
  ASUS M5A99X-EVO
  500 GB HDD
  TrendNet Atheros Wireless PCI Card

  And fully updated Xubuntu and for the very first time when i fill in
  my password it starts to load the desktop and it stops at the point
  that the only thing i see is the desktop background and the mouse i
  can move all over the place

  What i do is hit Ctrl+F1 and
  export DISPLAY=:0.0

  and then some commands like

  xfce4-session &
  xfce4-panel &

  and then Ctrl+F7 and the desktops started to load with panels and
  stuff. This bug is very important because it won't let me access my
  desktop. I cannot take a screenshot btw, maybe with my cellphone
